Burglar thwarted, arrested in Anna Maria

A man charged with a morning burglary was apprehended and charged Sunday in Anna Maria City.

A female resident of a home in the 100 block of Cedar Avenue stepped outside for a few minutes at about 8:45 a.m. and, upon her return, noticed that her purse had been disturbed, according to Manatee County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. John Kenney.

The woman then spotted a man on a bicycle in her driveway. She confronted him, but he pedaled away and she immediately called 911.

Officers stopped the man in Holmes Beach, Kenney said. The suspect gave a false name, but was later identified as William Reed, 34, of Holmes Beach, by Dep. Gary Sellitto.

Reed was charged with burglary, obstruction and resisting arrest without violence.
